This is interesting, I’ve been trying to figure out the best solution for handling blackout rules for sports apps. You pay full price but they specifically block anything in your market which is absolutely ridiculous. Yes, you can slap an antenna on the back and view low resolution local stations assuming you’re picking up a decent signal.

Haven’t found the most elegant way. Probably the path of least resistance is getting a separate router and connect the devices AppleTV, firestick, etc to that. But then you’re going to be constantly swapping networks if you wanted to use a different app with location.

But even that feels weird because you’re paying monthly for a smart dns service just to appear in a different geolocation. There has to be a better way.



One of the few good reasons to pay for a VPN service that lets you choose a location.


Any recommendations for this particular use case?
